  1. A post with an image fails to publish while text-only posts from the same account work. What should you check first?

    Answer: Whether the image meets the network's file size, format, and dimension requirements

    Each network enforces its own media specifications, and an image outside them can make an otherwise valid post fail.

  2. A CSV upload to the Bulk Composer is rejected. Which of these is a common cause?

    Answer: The date and time format doesn't match what Hootsuite's template expects

    Bulk Composer needs dates and times in the format the selected template specifies, so mismatched formats are one of the most frequent upload errors.

  3. Bulk-scheduled posts show errors because their times are too close to the present. What does Hootsuite require?

    Answer: Bulk-scheduled posts must be set at least 10 minutes in the future

    Bulk Composer rejects posts scheduled less than 10 minutes ahead, so set later times to fix them.

  4. Posts are going out an hour earlier than planned. What is the most likely cause?

    Answer: The time zone in the user's Hootsuite preferences doesn't match the intended time zone

    Scheduled times follow the user's time zone setting in Hootsuite, so a mismatch shifts every post by the difference.

  5. An X (Twitter) post shows an error in Composer before scheduling. What is the most likely reason?

    Answer: The text is over the network's character limit

    Composer checks each network's character limit and flags posts that are too long before they can be scheduled.

  6. A post is stuck in a pending approval state and hasn't published. What should you investigate?

    Answer: Whether an approver has reviewed and approved it in the approval workflow

    Posts that need approval won't publish until an authorized approver approves them, so the queue has to be cleared first.

  7. After you change a social network password, scheduled posts for that account start failing. What resolves the issue?

    Answer: Reconnect (reauthorize) the social account in Hootsuite

    Password changes often invalidate the stored authorization, and reconnecting the account restores Hootsuite's access.
